Never before in the history of marketing has public relations been so important to successful brand building. You can buy all of the ads in the world to promote your brand, but nothing amplifies your campaign and core messaging like an unbiased third party editorial opinion that’s positive.

Public relations is about clear angles (and creating unique selling propositions) and story telling and we’ve been doing it quite well for over 30 years..

Public Relations FoundationEarly in our career we saw first hand the impact public relations could have on a brand when we introduced new car models for Cadillac or Oldsmobile. The PR campaign we led for Pittsburgh launch of THE CLUB – the world famous auto theft protection device – was so successful that it served as a new market launch campaign model for the brand and led to record sales and market share dominance. And, creating and leading the public relations effort for the Big Mac’s 25th Birthday drove so much sales and favorable awareness for the brand that it still stands as the most successful public relations event in the history of McDonaldland.
